Easy peanut chutney recipe (Without coconut) | Chutney recipes

This is one of the most simple chuntey to prepare. I had long time aversion towards trying peanut chutney. That’s because I am not a big fan of peanuts. I mean I like it, but only in certain forms. Definitely not in gravies. So I always thought I wont like this peanut chutney and once even I tried it when I started cooking. But I totally misinterpreted the recipe and it was a flop. But when my Co-sis Bala told me this easy one that her friend told, I wanted to just give a try. And I tried it one day as you have seen it in my Paneer dosa post and few of you wanted the chutney recipe too. And yes, its peanut chutney and this is the one. You know what? I loved it . With idli, dosa and even I had it with some other deep fried snack which I forgot what it is. The best thing in this chutney is its runny and still rich, which I liked the most. So here is the recipe.

Peanut chutney recipe

Prep Time: 5 mins    |  Cook time: 15 mins    |  Serves: 4

Ingredients

Peanuts - 1/2 cup

---

Channa dal - 1 tblsp

---

Urad dal - 1 tblsp

---

Green chilli - 5

---

Ginger (optional) - 1 small piece

---

Salt - as needed

To temper

Oil - 2 tsp

---

Mustard - 1/2 tsp

---

Urad dal - 1 tsp

---

Asafoetida (optional) - 2 pinches

---

Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Method

1. Dry roast peanuts in low flame to ensure even roasting. Once its is crisp, transfer to a plate for cooling and roast channa and urad dal with a tsp of oil. Lastly add green chillies and fry. Cool everything. Remove the skin of the peanuts completely.

2. Place in the mixer and grind with ginger (if desired), salt and water. Grind smoothly.

3. Adjust water consistency to make it runny and temper with the items given under to temper table. Mix well.

Notes

• I always make the kadai hot and add peanuts, roast in low flame for more time to ensure even roasting. As it gets roasted, it slightly splits.
• Ginger can be replaced with a garlic flake too. In that case avoid asafoetida.
• If you want, you can add coconut in this same recipe.

I love my chutney runny as you would have seen it in the paneer dosa recipe post. Goes well with all tiffin items.
